Tinariwen lyrics

I am a traveler in the lone desert
It's nothing special
I can stand the wind
I can stand the thirst
And the sun
I know how to go and walk
Until the setting of the sun
In the desert, flat and empty,
where nothing is given
My head is alert, awake
I have climbed up and climbed down
The mountains where I was born
I know in which caves the water is hidden
These worries are my friends
I'm always on familiar
terms with them and that
Gives birth to the stories of my life
You who are organized
assembled, walking together
Hand in hand, you're living
A path which is empty of meaning
In truth, you're all alone.

-Ibrahim Ag AlHabib (Tinariwen: Amassakoul)

Burroughs and the Mirror

Great photograph of William S. Burroughs ... Anyone can tell me anything about the author? Where to find a large resolution file? Where can I buy this photo or maybe a poster?
Dreamt about looking in a mirror, morphing into Burroughs as I moved my head from left to right ...

"Sidef" : still working

Tinariwen : tuaregs from Mali

This year's favourite new discovery:

"To listen to Tinariwen is to believe once more in rock and its power. This is angry and passionate; it's dangerous music in the very best sense. Western bands might have forgotten how to rock as if their lives depended on it; Tinariwen can teach them." - allmusic.com
